From the family of the S-Class, the highest-quality vehicle in the world, comes a new level of hand-crafted refinement, personalization and prestige: the all-new 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600.
The Mercedes-Maybach S600 will launch in America in April 2015 as a 2016 model; it will cost tens of thousands more than the $167,825 S600, but it will remain a very significant distance away from the stratospheric stickers of the former Maybach 57 and 62 models. It’s a safe approach but a sensible one—and one that remains respectful to the original Maybach brand. We think there will be quite a few gentlemen (and ladies) to whom the car will appeal
Coming in April 2015, the Mercedes-Maybach S600 takes the perfection of the S-Class and soars to new heights. The interior is eight inches longer than the standard S-Class, and rear passengers will especially enjoy the generous legroom. Unparalleled comfort and sophistication awaits throughout, highlighted by hand-stitched Nappa leather throughout the interior—including the headliner, pillars and entire seats—with optional seat buttons, pillows and pillow stitching on the dashboard. All in all, the Mercedes-Maybach will offer seven unique designo interior packages to choose from.
In the U.S., the new car will launch as the Mercedes-Maybach S600, fitted with the same 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-12 that powers the “regular” Mercedes-Benz S600. It makes 523 horsepower and 612 lb-ft of torque, and it viciously runs the car into an electronic governor at 155 mph. Acceleration to 62 mph is said to take five seconds flat. Other markets will be offered the Mercedes-Maybach in eight-cylinder S550 and six-cylinder S400 forms.
These include expansive and unique wraparound wood trim, Maybach logos on the C-pillar and embossed into the center armrests, an IWC-badged clock with individually milled numbers, chrome-plated speaker grilles, and fiber-optic ambient lighting. There’s also Burmester 3-D surround sound, tweeters in the rear doors that “spiral” toward passengers, and a pair of Robbe & Berking silver-plated champagne flutes. The rear seats both offer a full range of power adjustability—including a backrest that can be moved independently of the seat bottom—a massaging function, and powered calf supports. A footrest can be motored out of the front passenger seatback for sleeping or relaxing. Cooling and warming cup holders are available, as are articulated tables that unfold from the rear center console. The rear air “nozzles” are done in a wood finish. Put simply, the car is sumptuous without being garish.
Outside, the changes are similarly modest. The grille now features additional vertical chrome strips, the triangle window on the rear door of a conventional S-class has been moved to the C-pillar—thus shortening the doors and allowing occupants to hide behind the rearmost pillar—and the front and the rear views each receive additional chrome trim.
